Consolidates release-candidate verification: backend 420 (incl. the CI runner's exact Ubuntu 20.04/libicu66 environment), frontend 128, all four DB scenarios, backup/restore with a byte-exact æøå round trip, health and auth checks. Status: READY WITH DOCUMENTED RISKS. No open code blocker. Remaining risks separated into code (none), infrastructure (runner instability A/B, still unconfirmed-fixed; old runner ICU), and manual owner verification (sign-in, production backup, production scale). Recommendation: deploy with documented risks -- re-run CI with the ICU fix, owner runs a real backup + scratch restore, deploy, then run the manual smoke test.
